From the standpoint of physics, there is one essential difference between living things and inanimate clumps of carbon atoms: The former tend to be much better at capturing energy from their environment and dissipating that energy as heat. Jeremy England, a 31-year-old assistant professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has derived a mathematical formula that he believes explains this capacity. The formula, based on established physics, indicates that when a group of atoms is driven by an external source of energy (like the sun or chemical fuel) and surrounded by a heat bath (like the ocean or atmosphere), it will often gradually restructure itself in order to dissipate increasingly more energy. This could mean that under certain conditions, matter inexorably acquires the key physical attribute associated with life.

The living organism’s survival comes from physical conservation laws

Abstract:

To understanding the human's survival, of the first we need to understand the physical conservation laws, because, in addition intellectual property, human also is a physical being and obey of physical laws.

The fundamental difference between living organism and non-living refers to energy that is linked to conservation law of energy in physics.

The second property refers to timelife of human that is linked to nature of time in physics that has reviewed in this essays.
